“Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you” (1 Peter 5:7).

Keith had been a paramedic for many years, but he never had had a patient like Hannah. The ambulance squad secured her in the ambulance, and Keith hopped in beside her. “I’m going to start an IV, Hannah, and we’ll be on our way,” he said reassuringly. Within moments the ambulance with its siren screaming raced to the hospital, weaving in and out of traffic as safely as possible. Hannah prayed aloud, “Lord, I would rather be in my little apartment today. But I know You have a plan for me. I cast my care upon You because You care for me. Please bless my new friend, Keith, and may he know how special You are to me and how special You want to be to him.” Though Keith was busy following the directions from the emergency room doctor via radio, he heard that prayer, and he never got over this elderly patient who obviously loved the Lord and cared about him despite her medical emergency. How about you? How will this wonderful verse play out in your life today? Hopefully not like it did with Hannah!

For today: Whatever you face, if you know the Lord Jesus as your Savior, please remember how much He cares for you.
